“Da jeg var liten tenkte jeg at alle dyr hadde fått utdelt hvert sitt ord; kyrne sa mø, hundene sa voff og så videre. Og jeg tenkte at de måtte uttrykke alle sine følelser, både de lykkeligste og de sørgeligste med variasjoner av dette ene ordet.

“When after hearing or reading instructions on how to set the mind on an object of meditation, you initially draw the mind inside and try to put it there, it may be that you will not be able to keep your mind on the object and will be subject to a waterfall of thoughts, one after another. If so, you are on the first level. You may even have so many thoughts that it seems as if trying to meditate makes them increase, but you are just noticing the previously unidentified extent of your own ramblings. Your attempts at mindfulness are causing you to notice what is happening.”
